The Wine and Sand from Blue Cellars

Close to the old royal town of Znojmo you can find the village Nový Šaldorf - Sedlešovice with a complex of wine
cellars called Blue Cellars. It is different compared to the other wine cellar complexes due to the technology of their
building. They were dug in sand stone.

Free Republic of Kravi Hora Wine Makers

The funny events connected with activities of the "Free Federal Republic of Kraví hora" made the small village in
Hustopeče Region really popular. In no other place in Moravia you will encounter – in connection with wine – the
passport obligations when crossing the wine district borders, necessary stamps, not speaking about the constitution and
its national anthem.

The Cellars and Shelters in Nechory

The visitors will see the largest wine growing and wine making village of the Podluží Region and mainly an
absolutely independent urban complex, i.e. the complex of wine cellars in the village part called Nechory.
The wine growing and making exhibition will present to visitors the habits connected with life and work in
vineyards.

How to Make Wine

The visitors of the picturesque village Pavlov below the Pálava hills will be attracted mainly by the architecture
of buildings above cellars. Within the scope of the exhibition in Pavlov the visitors will get to know the cellar
management, i.e. what is done with grapes and wine in a cellar.

Tastes and Smells of South Moravia

The cuisine reflects the life style of a region, the geographic conditions and the farming style. That is why we
would like to present such a mirror to the visitors of the Region of South Moravia. We want to present the South
Moravia in its complete diversity, tastes, smells and picturesqueness.

Brno, the Wine Town

Brno is the entry gate to the traditional wine region of Moravia. As proved by many historical sources, the
importance of wine making and wine growing was significant for the Brno town as early as in the 13th
century. The aim of the web presentation is to discover the half-forgotten face of Brno town.

Rakvice

An important wine village Rakvice can be found on former amber track, at the edge of the Dyje River alluvium. Large
areas of vineyards can be found mainly in east and north part of the village.

The cellar alley

The local vineyards provide ideal conditions for growing of white varieties. Mainly local Green Veltline or
Chardonnay are very popular.

The first written records of the wine cellars in Rakvice date back to 1595. The local cellars are characterised by
light ochre or beige facade – you can see it in old one-floor press room No. 63 in Družstevní street. Even the
neighbouring object is worth your attention. It stands on a separate island – you can go down the cellar on one side,
while on the opposite side you can see a door to the press room on filled cellar. There is a lane of cellars in Luční
street from the 19th century, but most of them with new stone facades inspired by similar buildings in
Zaječí or Vrbice. There is also an important town hall cellar No. 91, located in one of the edges of the triangle
square. The complex U luže offers a place to rest and a sensitively reconstructed press room with cellar No. 29. Other
streets with cellars are called: Vinařská, Dvorní, Na kopcech.
